Michael grew up in Kinship care alongside his siblings, facing the challenges of a non-traditional upbringing but finding strength and support in his family. From a young age, he had big dreams of becoming an NFL football player, and he dedicated much of his childhood to the sport. Football was his passion, and he poured his heart into the game, striving to perfect his skills and achieve his goals. However, during high school, a devastating injury—a torn ACL—forced him to walk away from the game he loved. This setback was tough, but it also opened the door to new possibilities. After recovering from his injury, Michael shifted his focus and found a new calling in the world of home remodeling. He started his own business, working hands-on to transform houses and spaces. The fast-paced, ever-changing nature of the work was a perfect fit for him. He enjoys the variety of each project, the satisfaction of seeing tangible results, and the freedom to work on different tasks without being tied down to one location or project for too long. His business has grown, and he takes pride in creating homes that are not only functional but beautiful. While his dream of playing in the NFL may have changed, Michael’s passion for working with his hands and building something meaningful remains a central part of his life.
